THE SEX LIFE OF THE ELECTRON

One night when his charge was pretty high, Micro-Farad decided
|
|
to seek a cute little coil to let him discharge.
|
|
|
|
He picked up Millie-Amp and took her for a ride on his Megacycle.
|
|
They rode across the Wheatstone Bridge, around the sine waves and
|
|
stopped in the magnetic field by a flowing current.
|
|
|
|
Micro-Farad, attracted by Millie-Amps characteristic curves, soon
|
|
had her fully charged and excited her resistance to a minimum. He laid
|
|
her on the ground potential, raised her frequency and lowered her
|
|
reluctance.
|
|
|
|
He pulled out his high voltage probe and inserted it in her socket
|
|
connecting them in parallel, and began short circuiting her resistance
|
|
shunt. Fully excited, Millie-Amp mumbled, "OHM - OHM - OHM - OHM".
|
|
|
|
With his tube operating at a maximum and her field vibrating with
|
|
his current flow, he caused her shunt to overheat and Micro-Farad was
|
|
rapidly discharged and drained of every electron.
|
|
|
|
They fluxed all night, trying various connections and sockets,
|
|
until his magnet had a soft core and lost all of it's field strength.
|
|
|
|
Afterwards, Millie-Amp tried self induction and damaged her
|
|
solenoids. With his battery fully discharged, Micro-Farad was unable
|
|
to excite his field, so they spent the rest of the night reversing
|
|
polarity and blowing each other's fuses.
